Understanding Depression: It's More Than Sadness

Depression is a medical condition that affects your thoughts, energy, and ability to function. It can feel like a loss of joy, constant irritability, or a crushing lack of motivation.

We diagnose and treat all types of depression, including:

  • Major Depressive Disorder (MDD): Intense, persistent symptoms that impact daily life.
  • Persistent Depressive Disorder: A chronic, lower-grade form of depression lasting years.
  • Postpartum Depression: Depression during or after pregnancy.
  • Treatment-Resistant Depression: When standard treatments haven't provided relief.

Signs You Might Need Support

Depression affects everyone differently. Common signs include:

  • Emotional: Persistent sadness, hopelessness, irritability, or emptiness.
  • Physical: Fatigue, changes in sleep or appetite, low energy.
  • Mental: Difficulty concentrating, loss of motivation, negative thoughts.
  • Behavioral: Withdrawing from friends, family, and activities you once enjoyed.

If these feelings last for more than two weeks, it may be time to seek professional support.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if I have clinical depression or am just sad?

Sadness is a normal emotion that comes and goes, often with a clear cause. Clinical depression is persistent, lasting for two weeks or more, and interferes with your work, relationships, and daily life. It often involves not just sadness, but also emptiness, fatigue, and a loss of interest in things you once enjoyed.

What is the most effective treatment for depression?

Research consistently shows that a combination of psychotherapy and medication management offers the best outcomes for many people. Therapy provides tools to change negative thought patterns and behaviors, while medication can help correct chemical imbalances in the brain. We create a personalized plan based on your specific symptoms and goals.

How long will it take for depression treatment to work?

You may notice small improvements in sleep or energy within a few weeks. However, building lasting change typically takes 2-3 months of consistent treatment. The timeline is different for everyone, and our therapists and doctors will work at a pace that feels safe and effective for you, adjusting the plan as needed.

What if I've already tried antidepressants and they didn't work?

You are not out of options. This is known as treatment-resistant depression, and we have advanced solutions. We offer cutting-edge treatments like Spravato (esketamine) and TMS Therapy, which work differently than standard oral medications. We will thoroughly review your history to find the right path forward for you.
